Loved the privacy .... It was a neat and clean place, host Indica was wonderful. She went extra way to make us feel comfortable.. She fulfilled all the special request that we made like giving boiled water, make sandwitches early morning to carey on trek, cut onions in salad and so on

Everyone at the hotel was very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and the hotel had an outdoor pool which was nice to go into after climbing the Sigiriya Rock. The location was great, just 3km off the site within easy reach by car or a tuk tuk ride.
We were a group of 8 friends occupying 4 double rooms, and all rooms had A/C. We stayed during Sri Lankan New Year celebrations and the hotel manager, Indika, was excellent at explaining all the traditions and we even had a free dinner.
We have also benefitted from a cooking class, that Indika organised for us in her kitchen, and learned to cook traditional Sri Lankan food, from string hoppers to dhal and pol sambol, where we learnt how to break a coconut and grate it!
Overall, a very warm welcome from all the stuff. A great value for money too! All of us definitely enjoyed our stay and fully recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to visit Sigiriya.

100% Verified Reviews

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full and as quickly as possible, provided the guidelines are met. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

눉The hotel was not where the map said it would be, it was a few km further away from lions rock. The room stank really bad and we had to kill mosquito for an hour before being able to stay in the room. Not worth the money, you just pay for the pool, which we didn't want to use because the area around it looked so dirty.
